A New Jersey homeowner woke up this week to discover an uninvited guest. The Township of Hamilton Police Department recounted the wild find in a Facebook post: "Imagine waking up on a warm and humid morning, taking a sip of your coffee and getting ready to take a quick dip in your refreshing pool before starting your day. You finish your breakfast, walk out to your back patio, and take a quick peek in your pool to make sure no rodents snuck in overnight. Luckily there were no rodents, but something much larger! Yes, you find a deer doing laps in your swimming pool, getting in shape to start preparing for the cold winter weather!"Officers joked they were able to use deer rescue training to safely remove the animal from the pool.
